Another Day another Dollar!

Hey hey fam and friends! Whats happenin out there good old sandy utah!?Well enough with that and onto the email haha, so here i am in some shifty internet cafe and this guy is playing some hard core Eminem rap music next to me that happens to be swearing every other word haha so if this email comes across like a gangster its because im typing to the music haha thug life baby! Alright time for another excellent set of Gringo moments! First of all we were supposed to have our first baptism this week! Haha key word supposed to, welcome to the misson right... But this one was a little different, so its Hermano Rocemberg he has a kid and a wife who is a member, or we thought it was his wife... yeah so after he had passed his interview with the STAKE PRESIDENT and everything, he is friends with the stake president and the stake president was going to do the baptism, so it all looked perfect. We went to his house the next morning and were filling out the Baptism info, roster thing, like dates of birth, full names and all that. So then we got to the question, where were you married, he just got this confused look on his face and was like huh? Remember we had already taught the law of chastity, and he passed his baptismal interview with the stake president and our Stake Pres is really awesome, well i mean he is no President Smith, obviously! But he is pretty good, but no one can take President Smith, and im pretty sure no one would pass a baptismal interview with President Smith without being married! I just laughed and i couldnt believe it haha. But its all good so now we have a wedding and a baptism this week! Haha oh Peru never ceases to amaze me! But yeah this week was pretty good, my companion is doing better but we still have some work to do for sure. I only have one week left in this transfer, crazy, i have next transfer to be a new missionary and after that i can actually do stuff and i wont be with my trainer. There is a chance we are together for next transfer its about 50 50, ill be fine either way so dont worry i can do it! Whatever the lord gives me to do i can do it cause all is possible with the lord! Sorry this is a short email, but I am uploading some pictures before my mom flies to Peru to get them from me..............you dont fool around with my mom and her pictures haha! Well thanks for all the prayers and love, I really appreciate it and couldnt do it without yall! Paz y Amor haha

Inspirational Quotes from the emails of...Elder McGhie :)!!

"Welcome to the life of ajunior,brand new, gringocompanion!I feel likethe penguins on Madagascar sometimes,"Just smile and wave boys, just smile andwave"haha!"***********************************"...While we were waiting and waiting in the rain, I bought achocolate ice cream and sat and ate it cause I was depressed because of my stupidity, haha(helocked them out of their apt). I also bought some cookies (chocolate)...after I ate them I definitely felt better, just like in Harry Potter, chocolate can solve any problem,EVEN DEMENTORS !"*************************************So here we are in the middle of Peru, on our pday, hiking up this mountain and it was awesome! So the question is, "When you are a missionary, in the middle of Peru, hiking a giant mountain, what do you do while climbing the mountain?" Of course me and one of the other gringos in my district sang, Miley Cyrus, "ITS THE CLIMB"! Haha, I cant lie, it was so perfect and yes, sadly, I knew all the words along with the other gringos. Elder Porter from Arizona was singing with me.It was just so funny to think, "What the heck, Im in the middle of Peru hiking a mountain, now, what should I do?""I should definitely sing some Miley Cyrus right now!!" Haha!" So that was pretty awesome, we did sing it pretty well, with giant leaps and dance moves to go along with the song! Haha!******************************************************************So when they told us last week we were going to eat at The Area President House (his name is Pres. Pino) today,I laughed and said, funny joke, but they were dead serious!So today(Sunday)after Sacrament meeting Pres. Pino came down from the stand,shook my hand and pretty much starred straight into my soul and asked me…”So are you going to eat lunch at my house today?” I barely managed to get out any words and said,“umm, I think so?”Haha And,I said it with about the courage of Nevil Longbottombefore he becomes a man in the7th Harry Potter!Haha!!
